Turkish Freakout 2- Psych Folk 1970-1978

A second set of Turkish psychedelia from the 70s in the Turkish Freakout series – great stuff that really covers a lot of terrain stylistically – with a few names that'll be recognizable to lovers of the panoramic Middle Eastern grooves of the era, and a bunch more that we're being introduced to for the first time! One of the great things about the material is that it's not dipping into psych era trippiness in a shtick-y way at all – it's genuinely creative music that's works with more tradition Turkish folk elements and instrumentation – but fearlessly and brilliantly fuses it with psyche, funk, pop, rock and folk. Male and female vocalists are featured, and instrumentation twists and turns in fascinating ways throughout – from Turkish psyche soul groovers to belly dance rhythms, spacey keys floating over buzzing strings, synths, flute and horns with uber melodic melodies and more – all with a uniquely Middle Eastern vibe permeating through. 17 tracks in all: "Yarim Gitti Cesmeye" by Afet Serenay, "Estergon Kalesi" by Baris Manco, "Bari Bari" by Gulcan Opel, "Obur Dunya" by Cem Karaca & Mogollar, "Sevgili Golgem" by Sirin, "Viens Dans Ma Vie" by Kenan and more.  © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Last summer, indie label Bouzouki Joe brought you a choice selection of some of the finest rare Turkish funk and psych-rock grooves, painstakingly unearthed direct from the source in Istanbul. The result: you freaked out (in a good way). With that in mind, we present the second installment of Turkish Freak Out!, featuring another batch of classic tracks from the Golden Age of Turkish music. With spiritual guidance from Mister Jason, this compilation, comprised entirely of original 7 recordings from Turkey's most creative and experimental artists, is guaranteed to deliver another five-star freak-out.

Pachuco Boogie 1948-1954 Arhoolie

Wild stuff! Chicano R&B from the late 1940s...
An awesome collection of swinging, jazz-tinged California Chicano R&B from the height of the postwar "pachuco" scene. Most folks know this as a the music of the "zoot suiters" -- the latino hipsters who pioneered Mexican-American popular culture during the late '40s, and whose outlandish inhibitions met with a white backlash that became known as the "zoot suit riots." It's all fun and games as far as the music was concerned, though -- and this disc is a delight from start to finish. It all began in 1948 with the title track, "Pachuco Boogie," which was recorded as a goof by Don Tosti, a veteran big band bassist whose roots were in the barrio. The song features a super-catchy riff and a slang-filled rap in the barrio lingo known as "calo," a forerunner of contemporary Spanglish. The song was runaway hit in the Southwest, touching off a fad that lasted a couple of years. This collection has some of the best, and rarest, of the pachuco jazz singles. Although the most famous track, Lalo Guererro's crosscultural stoner classic, "Marijuana Boogie," a couple of other Guererro tracks do make the grade, along with a ton of Don Tosti's follow-up singles. This disc is a real find -- chaotic and fun, great music saved from oscurity and lovingly curated by our pals at Arhoolie. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Record Runner)

The James Bond Sextette-The James Bond Songbook '65

The original album used legendary jazz and session bassist Jimmy Bond and contracted his name to James. Bond was a mainstay of the LA scene, playing with jazzers such as Charlie Parker and Elmo Hope, and with Phil Spector, Randy Newman and Frank Zappa (on his Lumpy Gravy project) amongst others. The group on this CD includes some of the finest jazz talent on the West Coast, including a brilliant horn and reed line-up of Harold Land on tenor, Buddy Collette on flute and tenor and Bobby Bryant on trumpet.

Hylo Brown - Lovesick & Sorrow (Starday 1961-1963)

16 tracks recorded for Starday in the early 60s by this fine bluegrass vocalist accompanied by sidemen like Josh Graves, Shot Jackson, Curtis McPeak, Chubby Wise and others.

Back in the early 1960's, the UK London label, a Decca imprint, released a whole slew of Starday albums. As the originals were almost unobtainable in the UK at the time, this was widely welcomed by the hardened few who bought the things. One of the artists who benefited from these releases was Hylo Brown. In the USA, bluegrass was enjoying a College revival as the younger generation fastened on to the sounds of fiddle and banjo. Whilst the established Bands profited from this interest, they couldn't cover all the appearances demanded, and Flatt & Scruggs devised an excellent scheme whereby an alternative artist would cover for them. Step forward Frank (Hylo) Brown, and his Band, the Timberliners.
Hylo was a great professional who played guitar and had a wonderful repertoire of songs, many of them old folk tunes. These he interposed with current favourites, a warm disposition, and he was very popular.
These Starday tracks are well chosen and give a good understanding of what Hylo could do. The 16 tracks lead off with Hills of Georgia, one of his most popular recordings, then Picture In the Wallet, a well known tear jerker. Cabin On the Hill was a Flatt & Scruggs hit that Hylo knew well, whilst Roane County Prisoner goes back to the traditional. This is a wonderful performance from Hylo, I have heard many versions, including the Stanley Brothers, but to me, this is the one. There are some Bill Monroe songs in here, but also a fascinating song called Silent Partner. This is the Blues, and years later, James King recorded it in appreciation of Hylo.
The last track is Truck Driving Man, not a natural choice for him, but Starday loved themed albums and Truck Driving packages sold well. In summary, 16 tracks of quality Bluegrass or authentic Country music. Take your pick.
When Hylo left Starday, he went on to record for Rural Rhythm, where he would produce 20 tracks of songs and instrumentals, and the product would be sold by radio promotion.
Hylo died a few years back, getting a footnote in the trade papers, but for those of us who bought his records, and now watch the Flatt & Scruggs Show DVDs, Hylo lives on, his distinctive warm voice with its falsetto voice break always fondly remembered. (R. Loder, Good Old Country Music Magazine)

Punk 45: Sick On You! One Way Spit! After The Love & Before The Revolution - Proto-Punk 1970-77 Vol. 3

The third volume of Soul Jazz Records' excellent Punk 45 compilation series focuses on some of the earliest front-runners of the punk movement, collecting 21 tracks of raw, weird, and sometimes psychedelic proto-punk recorded between 1969 and 1976, in some cases years before the late-'70s rise of punk. The collection goes as far back as the late-'60s composition "(I Wanna Love You Like A) Mad Dog" by junk instrument-implementing psych act Stavely Makepeace, but the true roots of punk's experimental, feral, and deeply outsider perspectives are best explored on tracks recorded a few years later by Detroit Afro-punkers Death, Ohio urchins Electric Eels, dark synth punk/proto-industrial acts like Cabaret Voltaire, and a host of other bands that were getting into vile, unhinged territory long before the Sex Pistols were even a twinkle in Malcolm McLaren's eye. Crime's gloriously loose "Hot Wire My Heart" (later covered by Sonic Youth on their Sister album) makes an appearance, as does Joe Strummer's pre-Clash outfit the 101'ers, a screaming track from Oklahoma single album freak rockers Debris, and the sci-fi meets lo-fi mess of Simply Saucer, sounding like Lou Reed on a heavy bender trying to figure out how to operate a synthesizer. After rock & roll's early days burned to a close and before the loud, fast, snotty upstarts of 1977 punk started their racket, there was a long stretch of lawless middle ground. This volume of Punk 45 does an amazing job corralling some of the various wild sounds from that nebulous time, anchoring the untameable numerous directions of its playlist with a finely considered flow and top-notch curation.(Fred Thomas, Allmusic)

The deeper roots of the pre-punk generation – not the obvious garage acts of the 60s, or the early rockers on the New York 70s scene – but a whole host of very underground acts who recorded in virtual obscurity, but had a sound that paved the way for huge musical changes to come! The package is easily the most compelling in the Punk 45 series – as it brings together a number of artists we'd never have heard otherwise, from both sides of the Atlantic – plus a few others we know, but forgot were ever this raw or loud – all laid out in one searingly nasty, abrasive set that really shows that punk didn't just start with the Pistols or Ramones. The package includes full notes and original record art too – and titles include "She Smiled Wild" by Mirrors, "Hot Wire My Heart" by Crime, "One Way Spit" by Debris, "Ain't Got You" by Count Bishops, "Acid Revolution" by Rob Jo Star Band, "Space Age Love" by Zolar X, "Mad Dog" by Stavely Makepeace, "Patsy" by Radio Pete, "Rear Guard Action" by Victoria Vein & The Thunderpunks, and "Sick On You" by The Hollywood Brats.  © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
